Security and temporal efficiency of security personnel are the focus of a current Austrian Science Fund FWF research project. And here, the journey is the reward: improved route planning for armoured vehicles and security companies. In particular, the project is aimed at reducing travel times while simultaneously avoiding predictable driving routes. A key component in the project is a novel analysis method for modelling such routes: it combines mathematic and heuristic methods to achieve optimum results. This decision-supporting tool will offer security companies not only cost savings, but also improved protection for the transport of valuable goods and VIPs, as well as for staff.
